Scored sibling Forgecraft Hi-Carbon butcher and slicer knives today.
A wobble spot in/ on the edge of the butcher ,and both need filework , each on one side of edge.
The only place I know of one side of a blade deliberately sharpened instead of both is in Alaska by certain natives...
Regardless , .25 cents a piece was fine. Handles and rivets are sound. Stiff blades with hardly any bend to them.
Need better polishing than I gave them but that will come after file work.
Did olive oil the handles after a light cleaning.
There are twins in a knife block on the counter collection. Probably more in "the big box o knives".
Dish soap was the beginning of the end of cast irons popularity.
The high carbon knifes I enjoy using fell out of favor too among housewives.
Soaking wood handles cracks them. Not cleaning high carbon knives after using stains them . And then... They just ain't pretty shiny...
So , here's another pair of knives suited to about anything anywhere for sturdy workers.
Easy to touch up , and robust.
Unlike online prices for the same knives these were quite affordable.
Maybe someday they will get sold...
